Thank you very much for watching! This video was a great excuse to replay Jade Empire a few more times. This is easily one of my favorite games/rpgs. Bioware/EA should re-release this on modern consoles and potentially consider a sequel.

Thank you for watching and if you want more videos on rpgs, here's one for another great and underrated one (Kingdoms of Amalur): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DpjgYdAcqSY&t=326s

This game consumed my weekends for several months straight after a launch day purchase. No kids, fresh out of the Navy, money to burn, and days off that I typically chose to spend playin games in boomin A/C. A Microsoft equivalent to a Bluepoint remaster would be a dream come true.

Man, this game so deserved a sequel. Never too late.

I have this game on Xbox one it’s the best martial arts game I’ve ever played the story is so deep and versatile and don’t even get me started on the replay ability

Great video, I feel like one of the biggest problems with the game was the marketing. I honestly had no idea the story was as powerful as it was until I played it myself.

This is one of those games that I have always wanted to see a remake or reboot for since I played it when I was younger.

Man what a surprise! I just finished Jade Empire and thought I'd see a retrospective, and came across you again! Fantastic video Joe, Jade Empire was an amazing game

OHHHH THE MEMORIES!! MY FAVORITE GAME OF ALL TIMES.. The nostalgia as i played as a kid. What a time. G4 used to have xplay cheat and so many good vibes from that era. I used to go to sleep to the theme music when i would save during my mission at dirge. Replay value is CRAZY HIGH. Always a new story every time.

Janky as its combat could be, Jade Empire has charm to spare and I still look back on it fondly.

@Ikea9292101 3 years ago

Seriously i thought i was the only one. Jade Empire is my fav game and they deff need to remaster it and give us a sequal. I feel like so many people overlooked this game it’s a masterpiece

@K.P.Alexander 5 years ago

Great work! One of my all-time favourite games.

I loved playing this game for hours and hours and it never got old. I created a super powerful character on my first save, but then a friend of mine accidentally made a save over it and I could never replicate it. 😭

@jair.anguiano 5 years ago

My favorite game of all time

@madmatt6454 4 years ago

it's criminal that jade empire never got a sequel or spiritual successor. Dragon age origins is my favorite game of all time. Jade Empire is a close freaking second!

@rustyshackleford3701 4 years ago

In my top 5 games of all time

@Makoto03 5 years ago

Jade Empire was fantastic. Its sad that Bioware never revisited it with a remaster or sequel.
I'd personally much rather have a new one than another safe Mass Effect game.

@RadDadRedemption 5 years ago

Great job :)

Well have to double back and watch this✌🏾

@mightofanubis3238 5 years ago

That was a great game and I feel you have done it justice.

As someone who loves martial arts and RPGs its odd i never played this by now. But i was 15 when it came out and had no xbox or pc so....I'm checking it out now
